The Hostelz.com Review

The Wheeler's Lodge lies just across the road from the Traveller's Lodge and as you guessed is owned by the same person. Look out for the sign and the entrance, which is actually via a lift to the second floor. Some friendly shopkeepers below will point the way if you can't find it.

Don't be fobbed off by the bottom entrance which is a bit grim. The Lodge is clean, friendly and nice. It doesn't quite have the facilities of the Traveller's Lodge but guests are welcome to cross the road and use things like internet and international calling facilities. Some may find this a bit inconvenient. There are some good tours run from here to places like the Batu Caves and Fireflies, although you can make your own way there as well. And if you want to chill out in the reception the common area is all air conditioned and you can sit back and watch a DVD movie at night with a ready supply of drinks in the fridge nearby.

It seems a more quiet and relaxed place than Traveller's Lodge, so it would be a good choice for traveller's who like their own space.

Good hostel in Chinatown so it's near the bus station, the markets, food stalls, shopping malls. It's clean with decent bathrooms. The staff are friendly and helpful and internet computers are available. My only complaint would be that some of the rooms don't have any windows so it was very difficult to wake up in the morning as there was no sunlight!

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for two weeks, and I can guarantee you that you gonna look for long before you find a hostel like this in KL! When we arrived early in the morning to KL after a ICE COLD trip on a bus from Kota Bharu and found this place, it was like heaven. The staff is brilliant, the area is interesting and all in all it is a oasis in a busy part of the city, You can go on the rooftop and chill (when we were there the rooftop wasnt finished - we helped them refurbish it) in this city that never sleeps, with a beer which is sold in the reception. And just across the street is the fabulous Reggae Bar where you can write your name on the wall and meet other backpackers. When we one day go back, we'll definitely stay here!!!
